Vision Pro

As reported by Bloomberg yesterday, some Vision Pro users have found out the hard way that there’s no way to restore the device if for some reason you forget your password. If this happens, you must take your Vision Pro to an Apple Store or repair center. Luckily, visionOS 1.1 beta seems to address this problem.

Apple Vision Pro has tremendous opportunity in the enterprise. However, version 1.0 of the visionOS software shipped without mobile device management support. That’s about to change with the upcoming visionOS 1.1 software update. Apple released the first developer beta version of the software today.

Apple has released the first beta for Apple Vision Pro users. visionOS 1.1 beta 1 is now available and rolling out via the Settings app. Here’s how to enroll and update.

Cisco is delivering the cutting edge goods for Apple users this month. Last week the company shipped Webex for Apple TV 4K. That lets you turn your TV into a conference call display with up to 25 participants simultaneously. Now Cisco is shipping Webex for Apple Vision Pro. The spatial design lets you turn any space into a gigantic display for meetings surrounded by your virtual workspace.

A new report from The San Diego Union-Tribune today offers a fascinating look at how the San Diego hospital system’s new “Spatial Computing Center of Excellence.” The report explains that Sharp Healthcare recently took delivery of 30 Vision Pro units and is “giving them to health care workers doing all sorts of jobs.”

Whether you plan to pick up Vision Pro or pass on it, one of the neat parts of iPhone 15 Pro is that you can capture spatial videos for Vision Pro. But before you can, you need to manually enable the feature. Here’s how to record Vision Pro spatial videos with iPhone 15 Pro.

A new report from China suggests that Vision Pro may launch in the country under a different name, thanks to Huawei successfully registering the name as a trademark back in 2019.

The same report suggests that the spatial computer will go on sale in the country in either April or May …

We’ve seen a lot of idiotic stunts since Vision Pro launched on Friday, perhaps none more viral and stupid than Dante Lentini driving a Tesla while wearing Vision Pro.

And while Lentini’s video would lead you to believe he got pulled over by the police for the stunt, that’s sadly not actually the case.

As Apple Vision Pro is now available in stores and has reached the hands of thousands of customers in the U.S., we’ve seen multiple hands-on and, of course, some drop tests. Although the front glass on the Vision Pro has proven to be quite resistant to accidental damage, new tests show that it is highly susceptible to scratches.

Apple Vision Pro is now available in the U.S., and we’ve already learned a lot about what the device can and can’t do. And one of the things that some users have now discovered is that there’s no easy way to reset or remove the password from a Vision Pro if you forget it.

Update: A source told 9to5Mac that Apple Retail employees have received early access to an Apple Configurator update that lets them easily restore a Vision Pro through a Mac without having to send the device to an Apple repair center. You can read the original article below.

One of the coolest Apple Vision Pro features is the ability to use the device as a Virtual Display for your Mac, so you can just look at your computer and your screen appears as a giant window on the headset. To our surprise, this feature also works with Intel Macs – but there are some limitations.

Want to try Apple Vision Pro for yourself? Following the launch of the device when Apple Stores only offered first-come first-serve demos, you can now make an appointment to guarantee a time slot. Here’s how to reserve a Vision Pro demo at Apple.

As someone who dabbles in music creation for fun, nothing excites me like a Moog synthesizer. So when I learned that Moog has turned Apple Vision Pro into a first-class instrument for music production, my brain went into galaxy mode.

The aptly named Animoog Galaxy is a “multi-sensory creative tool” that delivers an “immersive experience unlike any other, bringing a revolutionary instrument to musicians and technophiles.” In other words, we have our first killer app for music creators.

Macworld’s Jason Cross sounds like he’s taking an approach along somewhat similar lines to my Apple product diaries with his Vision Pro review, saying that he’s going to take time before giving a verdict – and in the meantime share some of his early take-outs.

His initial thoughts describe some of the things that most impress him about the device – and some of the biggest problems he’s encountered so far …

A Casey Neistat Vision Pro video posted over the weekend was, he says, simply intended to be a piece of silly fun – wearing the device while catching metro trains and walking through Times Square.

But he said that in the course of making the video, he had a totally unexpected experience, which convinced him that this type of device is the future of computing …

Our friends at iFixit have shared their Apple Vision Pro teardown. This offers our first in-depth look at every aspect of Vision Pro’s internal design, and Apple’s attention to detail is as impressive as ever.

Apple has published a new support document today detailing more about Vision Pro’s support for Bluetooth accessories. Notably, the company has confirmed that “Apple Vision Pro also isn’t compatible with Bluetooth mice.”

My pal Jacob and I trekked over to the Apple Store in New Orleans this morning to be customers #1 and #2 on Apple Vision Pro launch day. We both went for the half hour Vision Pro demo sessions that stores are now offering. The verdict? If you’re at all interested in experiencing Apple Vision Pro, you just have to find the nearest Apple Store and take advantage of the opportunity.

It was nice to finally experience some of the things Chance Miller hasn’t stopped talking about since June. But my experience isn’t really complete yet. My memory of using Apple Vision Pro so far is distant and blurry. That’s because there weren’t optical inserts for my particular corrective lens prescription. Still, I had to try Apple Vision Pro, and it was an interesting 30 minutes.

Apple Vision Pro doesn’t have any ports other than the magnetic connector for attaching the battery, so it was unclear whether there would be any way to transfer data between Vision Pro and another device by wire connection. Now Apple has confirmed that there is a way and has introduced a new “Developer Strap” accessory that adds a USB-C port to the Vision Pro.

Flexibits wasted no time preparing the Fantastical experience for Apple Vision Pro. Michael Simmons, the mind behind the best calendar app, said over the summer that taking advantage of Apple’s Vision Pro developer sessions “helped us start thinking not just about left to right or up and down, but beyond borders at all.” That’s a serious teaser, and now the result of their work is ready for Vision Pro customers.

Apple Vision Pro is finally here – at least in the United States. Announced last June at WWDC 2023, Apple’s mixed reality headset is now available in stores with prices starting at $3,499. And after visiting the Apple Fifth Avenue store this morning, Apple CEO Tim Cook compared the launch of the Vision Pro to the launch of the iPhone and other Apple products.
